Naveen Jain made his first million working for Bill Gates.

       Jain has a hefty resume: He's the founder of Infospace (now Blucora), which provides Internet-related services; Intelius, a public records business; TalentWise, which helps employers complete background checks; Moon Express, which develops commercial lunar landers; Bluedot, a tech company that provides location data; and Viome, a biotech company.

     He is vice chairman of Singularity University and trustee of the XPrize Foundation.Still, one would be hard-pressed to blame Gates for wanting the Sinot Aqua. The vessel is downright impressive, with a futuristic design, hydrogen power, and even space for a helipad, so owners and visitors can land on its deck without any trouble. The Aqua was unveiled last year. Exactly when it'll actually hit the seas remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen whether Gates will be one of the first billionaires to be riding on it when that happens.
